Richard Paul Reilly (b. February 3, 1958 in Boulder, Colorado)
Rick Reilly is a "back-page" sportswriter for Sports Illustrated. His column always appears on the back page, and many readers actually open up the magazine to the back to read the column first. He has won the Sportswriter of the Year award 10 times.
Reilly began his career in 1981 with the Boulder Daily Camera. He joined Sports Illustrated in 1985.
Although he is quite famous, he is still quite controversial (though not to a Jim Rome extreme). Famously, in 2002, Reilly responded to Sammy Sosa's assertion that he would take a drug test if someone offered it to him by...offering him a drug test, upon which Sosa began to yell at him. He has also attacked Barry Bonds in print on numerous occasions due to Bonds being late for an interview. One controversial article he wrote criticized Bonds for his steroid use. He even anchored a half hour on ESPNews, which he detailed in a column.
He is known for being liberal and bashed George W. Bush, which caused readers to resent him.
Reilly has also published Who's Your Caddy?, Missing Links and Slo Mo!. Who's your caddy was a best-seller.
